Straight from the horse's mouth. Those folks in other threads going off with $600 price tags are totally off base. Read the article and note how non-custom parts are CHEAPER and EASIER to fabricate. I still say that they waiting to see what MS announces for a price tag, which they will then match or undercut.
One SKU at $399, one more at $499 perhaps. I don't see them charging over $500.
I agree...I know why everyone thinks there will be a high price tag because of the 8GB GDDR5 memory inside the system is expensive, but that is why they opted to go with a custom-designed AMD "Jaguar" CPU+GPU chip, to pack enough horsepower and high-end specs while still maintaining a low manufacturing cost.
Very smart to go with AMD's brand new line of APU's as well.
I think Sony wants people guessing $600-$700 so when they lay the $450-$550 number on us people wont be outraged. Sort of what they did with the Vita, everyone thought it would be $400 and when it ended up being $250 everyone was relieved.
I cant afford more than $400, so take it for what it's worth.
Sounds good to me, the better priced the console is the more launch games i can pick up.
They clearly will wait to see what Xbox is priced at and will adjust the cost in either direction to what they can get away with.
